Original Black and White; their sequels have different routes and encounter availability.

Generation V identity and base stats

Bouffalant is Unova #132 and National #626. Its original Black and White typing is Normal. These figures describe the standard form in the original Nintendo DS games.

The illustration uses a standard Generation V sprite; colour, gender or seasonal forms can differ in the cartridge.

Where to obtain it in Black and White

Check the version and method columns before travelling. An encounter listed as a gift or stationary interaction does not mean Bouffalant appears in ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching slots within the same recorded condition.

The following records are filtered to Black and White. The table preserves separate seasons and special conditions. These are documented locations, not a promise that every encounter is available at the start of the story.

Abilities and breeding reference

Bouffalant ability slots
Ability	Slot / availability
Reckless	Regular ability
Sap Sipper	Regular ability
Soundproof	Hidden slot; historical availability must be checked

A Hidden Ability in the data is not proof of an obtainable original-game specimen. Some Hidden Abilities were never released in Generation V; the starter Contrary/Reckless/Shell Armor slots and Litwick-line Shadow Tag cannot be treated as ordinary Black/White catches.

Bouffalant breeding and training facts
Property	Value
Gender ratio	50% female / 50% male
Egg group(s)	Field
Base hatch cycles	20
Experience growth	Medium Fast
Base capture rate	45 / 255 (not a percentage chance)
EV yield when defeated	Attack +2

The No Eggs / Undiscovered group cannot produce Eggs. An Egg move must be inherited through an eligible parent in these original games; it is not automatically learned by every caught specimen.

FIELD NOTE

Use the exact Black or White method and condition before hunting Bouffalant. Event prerequisites and evolution-only species need a different collection plan from ordinary wild encounters.
